I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I am having connecting to my local MySQL installation. I am running FC2 and MySQL 4.0.20. When I attempt to connect to MySQL I get the following message: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) /etc/my.cnf ----------- [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib [safe-mysqld] err-log=/var/log/mysql.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysql.pid ------------- Looking at the running services (using the GUI tool via System settings > Services) mysql is reporting the following in the status pane: "Usage: /etc/init.d/mysql start|stop|restart". Let me know what further details would be useful and I will attempt to post them. Many thanks Graham.
